- Wests Tigers legend Benny Elias claims there will never be a campaign as good as Tina Turner’s commercial for the NSWRL in 1989.
“This was the changing of guard; this was the professional game of rugby league all of a sudden,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Overnight, it became super, super professional.”
I remember perfectly...
This clip became the face of the NRL. Sensational! 👏 RIP, Tina.
The 1989 promo “What you get is what you see” will always be my favourite 😍
@jarrodtroy695 Goosebumps even now mate. 💪
My rugger son will enjoy this piece, thanks! RIP, Tina
Rest in love queen. This will always be leagues anthem to me it inspired generations of kids
She loved it too.when she sang at the final and everyone joined in she heard it it and loved it like me.
The best ever promo campaign for our great game ❤️ the nostalgia as a young man is something I’ll never forget
Especially her version with JImmy Barnes ! Jimmy at his best !!!
The version with the players in it. That is my favourite.
Angel, legend..respect.thankyou.
After this promotion the game changed overnight from 26 Blokes belting the shit outta each other, to an entertainment spectacle!
I agree. Growing up as a kid, playing League and when that song came on, it got me all riled up and pumped to watch the game n
I just listened to this just this morning always loved this
We love you Tina. 1939-2023
Well done Benny
The face of resilence🎉❤
It’s wonderful to see NO Cellphones!📱
Besides Ms Tina Turner!💐
Simply the Best! 🌟
An absolutely phenominal Rugby league promotion Tina Turner the Players were all brilliant you could not help but be carried along like on a wave fabulous it should be replayed with players of the present added
A beautiful woman 👠 around all of those beautiful men was Simply and always will be the best 💕💕💯💕!! I love every minute of this campaign!! Incredible!!😊😊
A wonderful woman in all the sense of the word among those extraordinary guys. Just simple the BEST :)
That’s the best commercial or advertisement of the NRL nothing compares! Even the players that time….their the best!
Yes we all remember this song, we sang it even at the footy (AFL), RIP.. Shame though when music becomes an advertisement.
She also said "I'd hate to see the ugly ones" 😂
🫶🏾❤️ You Queen of Rock n Roll, TinaTurner #SimplyTheBest.
I very vividly remember this striking Ruby League promo campaign in 91’ as a Primary School student at Ela Beach; without being able to even seeing the ad itself again, the images I avidly recall seeing are Mal and the Queen herself on the ad, watching from PNG and of course supporting my Maroons too.
Thankyou so much Tina 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
🇺🇸🇵🇬🇦🇺
Very cool moves to bring Tina in and the 1000' women that gravitated to the game. Go you NRL nothing, nothing will ever top this xx
RIP Tina Turner
Very impressive women
How true, Tina put the NRL on the map, women who once were never interested began to watch. I have never understood why they didn’t continue to invite her to do it again and again. Tina was the very best.
❤❤❤
Confusing there for a second thought they were using her song for the “NO” campaign
There a few Elephant's in the Room.
Sky is handling it very well 👍
Please explain
@@wyatthurts1729 I never miss an episode of Pauline Hanson's "Please Explain". Hilarious.
@@warrenbridges1891 yes and it’s concurrent and a subtle way to expose the stupidity of the labour government
@@wyatthurts1729 You said it. I can't believe the stupidity. but then again, it is labour.
wwonderfull!!!!!!!!!
i remember that song being hijacked like every other song became an ad??!
Say what you will about Backdoor Benny Elias, he has aged a whole lot better than his nemesis Gordy ;)
RIL Tina
😔
"no campaign"? Trying to link Tina to the no campaign is disgusting but typical.
Ocean Breeze Read the whole sentence. You guys are always looking for some reason to be offended.
A black grandmother?
There's only ONE football... 🏈
*The American NFL!!!!!* 💪🏿🇺🇸
What's this rugby 🏉 stuff????
MF DOOM that's a super villain. This is specifically Rugby "League". Both league and American football are derived from Rugby "Union". Before American football was invented, America played Rugby. They even won an Olympic gold medal. Except only 3 teams turned up.
@@warrenbridges1891
Interesting history.... didn't know this!
But time for you Aussies.... to adapt to American football 🏈
@@invisiblerevolution It's played on a very small amateur scale here, but most Aussies at least have some idea about it. A few rugby boys have made the switch and have careers in America. Especially the Pacific islanders. The rest don't take too kindly to having to sit on a bench for half the game. In league and union, you have to play offense and defense. The guys in this video only have 4 reserves per team. Plus, limited interchange. If you get hurt after that, tough luck. The team plays a man short.
Rugby League, not to be confused with Rugby Union, is basically NFL on speed.
@@grantpadlie8519 Yeah, but we borrowed the limited tackle rule off them (first 4 tackles, later changed to six) back in 1967. (South Sydney v Canterbury- Bankstown), which contributes to the hectic pace of today's game. Before that, it was becoming an endless, monotonous, grind down field. So, props to NFL there.
03:06 gay players. Nothing wrong with that…just saying. Hard as nails
